Your Boeing 747 spotting logbook
Record 747 sightings and flights by registration, date and airport. Edit your entries, undo the last deletion, and export a CSV backup from a logbook stored only in this browser.
Keep a record of the 747s you have seen or flown on. Add the aircraft registration, the date, an airport or place, and any details you want to remember. Use one entry per sighting or flight, so you can record the same aircraft more than once.

CSV imports add entries and skip exact duplicates. Use the five headings in an exported backup. Up to 500 entries; files up to 4 MB. Spreadsheet formula prefixes are escaped on export.
No entries yet. Add the first 747 you have seen or flown on.
Keep your own backup
Your entries are stored in this browser on this device. The logbook does not send them to a server or sync them between devices. It works with optional analytics or external media blocked. Clearing website data, changing browsers or closing a private browsing window can remove them. Export a CSV backup regularly; you can import it on another device.
If storage is blocked or full, you can still use the logbook during this visit and export it before leaving. It will tell you when entries cannot be saved permanently. On a shared computer, use an exported file or your own browser profile for personal notes.
Imports add validated entries and skip exact duplicates. The required CSV headings are registration, date, airport, activity and notes; activity must be seen or flown. Notes can contain commas, quotes and line breaks when quoted as they are in an exported backup. Unsafe spreadsheet formula prefixes are escaped on export.
Use the aircraft registry to research a registration, or practise identifying shapes with the photo quiz.
